Just for fun on this thread alone lets see who can create the most realistic spider in medium.. No cheating medium only. Try to make it as real as you can. Feel free to use any picture you like as long as it is as real as possible.. i.e Not cartoony. A suggestion would be to use a white ground square to allow a shadow to show the 3d effect of the spider.

Could you send your model to me of that spider id like to give it some colour today. if thats ok :)? send it to xlordb@hotmail.com 😉 I can send it back after its done just wanna try practising my paint skills on it seeing as how its a really good basic non painted model for me to try . I might even give it sum hairs although im not sure yet my pc takes a big hit when i hair up an object lol.

Surface painting with a stamp. Takes a looooooooong time and taxes your system need plenty of memory.

Started work on pentagram's model coming along nice made afew "very small" alterations to eyes and fangs nothing major. Currently painting the colours and will work on the realism after that. Had to modify your logo just a little by adding some emissive colour since my paintwork and style would obscure it i think itl look fine when finished though 😉 Im not recording it this time though as I will need all my pc ounces of power lol

A peacock spider!
Inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maratus_volans
The abdomen is a metallic layer, but the hair cover has a normal material painted the same way. I made custom stamps for hair and rigged the legs by having the segments as different layers (hair is useful to hide joints!).

Finsihed product thanks for the model pentagram 😉 note:- I forgot to switch the light source so it looks dark. I also forgot to save it after doing the orange hairs so this should do.. Ill post pic of just before orange hairs as you can then see some more front detail with a bit of light.
